Ingredients for Beef Bowl (enough for 2 pax) :

2 to 3 packets Xndo Zero Rice. Each box contain 4 packets.

200 gm tender cut beef (thinly sliced)

5 to 6 pieces shiitake mushrooms (sliced)

1 cup Dashi stock (Dashi sachets available from Japanese supermarkets)

Salted vegetables 咸菜 (aka salted mustard green) are cooling in nature. Hence, I personally prefer to neutralize with some 'heaty' ingredients such as ginger, garlic and white peppercorns. This' especially comforting during the rainy days.

This is a must-have traditional dish in many South East Asian Chinese families. There are many variations and versions. I prefer to prepare mine as a single pot dish to just go with rice.

I've given the traditional Chinese Five Spice Rolls 五香卷 a healthier tweak by using minced chicken instead of the normal minced pork and prawns. I've also air-fried the rolls instead of deep frying them the traditional way. Xndo Zero Rice has been used to make my Ngoh Hiang rolls more satiable to the stomach (比较有饱足感) so that I do not need to prepare other dishes for a simple yet hearty meal. This Air Fried Chicken & Rice Ngoh Hiang 鸡丝五香饭卷 is absolutely pleasing to the palate. You can dip it in any preferred dressing(s). Personally, I love dipping my Ngoh Hiang rolls with just Balsamic Vinegar...Yumz for the layering of flavours!Xndo Zero rice is certified low GI, non-GMO, high fibre and suitable even for diabetics!

My hubby requested for a "less prawn meat" version of lemongrass skewers. Therefore, I reduced prawn meats to just 1/3 portion and incorporated fish paste and minced pork. I assure you that this version ofLemongrass Pork & Seafood Skewers (Salted Egg Seaweed Flavoured) is absolutely delicious. We couldn't have enough!

Ingredients for skewers (enough for min. 12 sticks) :

6 pcs lemon grass (slightly pressed and cut to halves in length - to be used as skewers)
